About this business

The Pit offers some of the best barbecue in Raleigh. Set in a restored early 20th Century meatpacking warehouse, the restaurant carries on the North Carolina barbecue tradition by serving full-hog, pit-cooked pork, and other barbecue essentials. But The Pit is more than a generic barbecue restaurant: it combines the generous portions of classic meat-loving joints with some surprises. The pork is free-range, and guests can enjoy barbecued tofu, wines, cocktails, and a comprehensive list of bourbons.

It was one of our "sister lunches we enjoy weekly!" We vent, laugh, hug, cry and just enjoy ourselves�. We decided on "The Pit!" I've been there but my sister Amy Nisi Hicks hasn't. We had plenty and enjoyed the atmosphere, very comfortable & homely feeling, great restaurant. Wait staff was very accommodating with service and explaining the menu. #ThoroughlyPleased

Food was amazing!! The men got Big Boy Platters, best fried chicken, awesome soul rolls, deviled eggs, fried Mac-n-cheese, pulled pork, beef brisket, sweet iced tea is perfect and never empty. Oh, and desserts... OMG! Decadent chocolate cake, carrot cake, and banana pudding were tried by our crew with high fives all around. Our waiter, Chris; made this family outing a spectacular experience. He was phenomenal! Mom-in-law's special birthday! Will definitely return and tell all our friends. Thank you!

Service was good. BBQ chicken was very good. Hush puppies were awesome. Mac and cheese and the mashed potatoes and gravy were excellent. They mixed a good drink. Only complaint is that they had on some weird 80's music that didn't seem to jive with the atmosphere but I refuse to remove any stars for that. Check this place out!
